Finding an eye doctor you trust should feel reassuring, not overwhelming. At Asheville Vision and Wellness, we have spent more than three decades caring for the eyes of local families, combining advanced technology with a warm, welcoming approach. Whether you are due for a routine exam, managing an eye condition, or shopping for new glasses, our team is here to make the experience comfortable and thorough.
Our practice is conveniently located at 559 Long Shoals Road in Arden, serving the South Asheville area and the surrounding Western North Carolina communities. We believe quality eye care should be accessible, personal, and built around your individual needs, and that philosophy guides everything we do.
Comprehensive Eye Care for the Whole Family
Eyes change throughout life, and so do the kinds of care they need. A child starting school, an adult working long hours at a screen, and a retiree monitoring an existing condition all benefit from attentive, customized attention. Our doctors provide care for patients of every age, from children to seniors, all under one roof.
Since 1989, our group has focused on delivering high-quality vision care with a team that treats you like a neighbor. Our examinations are tailored to you, and our experienced staff works together to provide superior service at every visit. That consistency is one reason so many families in the area return to us year after year.

Comprehensive Eye Exams
A thorough exam is the foundation of healthy vision. Our comprehensive eye exams evaluate both how clearly you see and the overall health of your eyes. Depending on your needs, your doctor may screen for conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, diabetic eye changes, and dry eye, along with checking your visual acuity and updating your prescription.
Medical Eye Care and Testing
Eye care is about more than glasses. We provide medical testing and ongoing management of glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, diabetes-related eye conditions, dry eye, and other ocular diseases. Our optometrists are certified in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of ocular disease, which means many conditions can be handled right here in our office.
Early detection makes a real difference with many eye diseases, and our diagnostic technology helps us identify changes before they affect your daily vision. Catching issues early gives you and your doctor more options.
Dry Eye Treatment
Dry, burning, or fatigued eyes are common, and they can quietly chip away at your comfort throughout the day. Tears are your eyes' natural lubrication, and when your tear system is out of balance, the result can be irritation, redness, and tired eyes. Causes range from screen use and air conditioning to natural aging and certain medications.
Relief often starts with a visit to your trusted local optometrist. Learn more about our approach on our dry eye treatment page, and let us help you find lasting comfort.
Diabetes Eye Health
For patients living with diabetes, regular eye care is an essential part of staying healthy. Diabetes can affect the blood vessels in the retina, sometimes before any change in vision is noticeable. Our team monitors and manages diabetes-related eye health so that any developments are caught and addressed promptly.
LASIK Evaluations and Co-Management
If you are considering laser vision correction, we are glad to help you understand your options. We provide evaluations for LASIK, laser, and cataract surgery, including post-operative examinations and management. We refer LASIK candidates to Woolfson Eye Institute, whose team has performed more than 100,000 LASIK procedures.
This coordinated approach means your care stays connected. You have a familiar team guiding you before and after surgery, with a surgeon handling the procedure itself.
Eyewear and Contact Lenses
Choosing eyewear should be enjoyable, and our team helps you find options that fit your prescription, your lifestyle, and your personal style. From everyday glasses to specialty needs, we want you to leave seeing clearly and feeling confident.
Our offerings include:
- A selection of eyeglasses to suit different looks and budgets
- Contact lenses fitted to your eyes and vision needs
- Safety eyewear for work and protective use
Whether you have worn glasses for years or are exploring contacts for the first time, our staff will walk you through the choices and help you care for your new eyewear.
Advanced Technology and a Comfortable Experience
Patients often tell us that visiting our office does not feel like a typical appointment. We have built a practice that is both tech-forward and genuinely welcoming, because we believe the two should go hand in hand. Modern diagnostic equipment helps us detect issues early and care for your eyes with precision.
We also know that a relaxed visit makes for better care. Many patients are happy to be greeted by Gus, our therapy dog, who adds a friendly and calming presence to the office. You can meet him on our therapy dog page. Little touches like these reflect the kind of experience we want every patient to have.
